Delightful Italian Brunch Near Central Park 🌳

Today, I went to an Italian restaurant called The Leopard at des Artistes with my high school friends. It's right next to Central Park. 🌳 🗽 The decor of this place is truly unique. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by an elegant, old-money vintage vibe. The murals on the walls are stunning, giving off a Renaissance atmosphere. 🎨 ☕️The waiters are Italian, which adds to the authentic experience. We initially wanted to order only brunch items, but the waiter, with his charming Italian accent, introduced us to the day's specials. He persuaded us to try the eggplant risotto, and it was delicious! 🥣 Every dish here is meticulously crafted. Even a simple yogurt is presented beautifully. The banana pancake🥞 is amazing, and it's not overly sweet. We also ordered UOVA STRAPAZZATE, which is a smooth, creamy egg dish topped with generous shavings of black truffle. It was heavenly! 🍳 🗽 I really like this restaurant. Today it was raining, but on sunny days, they set up outdoor seating on the street, giving it a lovely European flair. 🌤️ On Sundays, they have live jazz performances, which I'd love to experience next time. Every visit to a place like this makes me fall in love with New York all over again. 😍 📍1 W 67th St, New York, NY 10023 #NewYork 🗽✨
